nounced the word "Omahs," which had
never been heard before. Those who heard
it adopted 1t as the name OF their tribe
Another story Is that the town was named
after white man who was an Indian doctor,
and who took the name Of Omaha from the
tribe of Indians Of that name, Mr.. James
&. Savery, who in early days was promin-
ent citizen of Iowa, and built the Savery
house at Des Moines, tells an interesting
story In connection with tho naming Of this
city. Mr.. Savery, who Is now resident of
Montana, while on his way east recently,
said to member of the BEE staff: "Coonel
James Redfield, of Albany, was really the
protector of Omaha. lie and eleven Others
went into the Council Bluffs 4 Omaha
Ferry company, each putting In 500. Colonel
Redted borrowed his $500 and
got me to endorse for him. The COM
pany then plated the town. When Red
fields note came due he couldn't pay II, and
he then offered mo his share of the town
site, but declined to accept It. There was
white crank with long hair who claimed to
be an Indian doctor, and went by tho name
of Omaha. One niSht at the Pacific house, in
Council Bluffs, while the townsite men were
on drunk, 1t was agreed to call the new
town Omaha after this crank Indian doctor.
That's how Omaha got her name. In due
time Colonel Redield sold his interest at
cost. lie was colonel In the union army of
the war of the rebellion and was killed on
the field of battle.'
A GOOD story is told of an Omaha doctor.
Some years ago he became engaged IN fight
with another man, whom he finally knocked
down with heavy china pitcher. The man
received an ugly scalp wound which the
doctor sewed up. One would naturally sup
pose that the victim would not have bee
called upon to pay for the surgical attend
ance, but 1t is a fact that the doctor presented
bill for $40, and what is more he got the
money. There's nothing like having an eye
to business

The wires bring an account of fear
full tragedy from Hastings. A cure.all
doctor named Randall undertook to pro-
fessionally treat an innocent little girl
only eleven years old. As the evidence
showed, Randall's wife assisted the fiend
incarnate in n hellish scheme to rape the
girl. The deed was accomplished. After
having remained with the scoundrel a
week or more, the outraged child es-
capped to her parents who lived in II
neighboring town. Telling her story,
Randall was at once arrested. The trial
was IN progress. The prisoner was in
the court room. When his bond was be-
ing prepared some unknown man
entered the court room, placed re-
volver to Randall's head, fired and blew
out the brains of the brutal dog. The
man escaped. No effort will be made to
find him. There would be no occasion
to ascertain his whereabouts or to learn
his name, unless 'twould be to give the
good citizens of Hastings an opportunity
to congratulate him. There are times
when law seems mockery. This was
certainly one of the times. Hastings was
wild with excitement last night. There
was serious talk of lynching Randall's IS
wife. Mob law is not to be encouraged.
Yet if the story of the little girl be true,
Mrs. Randall should not escape severe
legal punishment.

as in all others, are certainly growing
better in the new SOUTH" The material
progress of that section is begetting a
wholesome sense of Iself-reliance and
self-help which has been needed there,
and which, il wisely exercised will be
productive Of great good. 1t can exert
itself in no more useful, important and
necessary direction than in enlarging
and improving the public school system,
the cornerstone OF. popular intelligence,
social order and public morality. Ma.
terial advancement is to be welcomed and
encouraged. The promotion of industry
and the accumulation of the things that
make wealth, as mills, factories and
workshops, are worthy objects TO- be
earnestly sought and subserved. But
hand.inhand with the effort for their at
tainment there must be maintained n

the end that the intellectual and moral
requirements of society shall not suffer
in the race for material benefits. Every
evidence that the people of the south are
beginning to comprehend this is graft

II is an easy matter for any person to
make an accusation. One may carelessly
charge that man is thief, ard while he
may be morally certain that he is correct,
it may be impossible to obtain positive
proof to substantiate the assertion. On
the principle that nice distinctions are
troublesome, the world lives in ignorance
of men as they actually are. The scoun.
drel generally boasts of his honor. The
libertine prates of his virtue. The liar
grimly refers to truth, and thieves and
plunderers form conspiracies to insinuate
themselves into responsibility. 1t is sell
dom that individuals are called before
the bar to prove assertions made in con-
versatiOn. A mans reputation is always
considered in estimating his testimony.
If he bears a spotless character, and
is not given to promiscuous lying,
the story he tells of his neighbor has
weight. If investigation shows that his
story is untrue, he is excused by the
statement that he was misinfOrmed or
mistaken. If he happens to be man
who lies for pleasure and would rather
utter falsehood than tell the truth,
no attention is paid to his creations. A
newspaper stands in an entirely different
position. From the fact that it is sup
posed to have general circulation, the
law requires that it shall be cautious, and
before making charge impugning the
character of a fellow citizen, it must
have what it deems, and what jury
would deem Sufficient evidence" to
warrant its action. The same is true of
written charges.
The recent howl set up by the corpor
ate press, regarding charges preferred
| by the editor of this paper against GER
| tain committee of the legislature, suggests
| these remarks. AS is shown in Mr.. Rose
waters letter 10 the chairman of the in.
| yestigating committee, specific charges
were made, the witnesses named and the
committee invited to proceed with the ex-
animation. We believe there is no ques-
ton as to the guilt of the parties. But
after plot was conceived and executed
to change the investigation to a public
farce, to give the scoundrels chance to
corroborate the plausible lie of their part
ners in crime, the editor of the BEE
deemed it advisable to withhold his @ vi
dence. and save the state the expense OF
the whitewashing procedure certain to
follow.
The hirelings may howl until they are
blue in the face. The apprehended Grim
inals may congratulate one another upon
their imagined escape. But they must
remember that this ma tier does not end
with the legislature. There Is yet 6
higher court. In due time and season the
case will be presented to the people
Such serious crimes must not be lightly
treated.

POLITICAL POINTS.

In Oregon the state election occurs In

Only seven members of the Rhode Island
house Of representatives voted against the
submission of woman suffrage amendment.
Senator Cullom thinks the recent session
of congress was one of the most important
ever held. AS proof he points to the passage
of the Interstate commerce bill.
Ex-senator John /. Mitchell of Pennsyl-
vania retires to private law practice at
Wellsboro after more than fourteen years
continuous service in public life.
Senator Henry b. Payne regrets that he
cannot explain what the letter B stands for
in his name. There is a general impression
in Ohio that 1t stands for "Boodle."
President Cleveland has given S100 for the
Hendricks monument fund. This action
will perhaps be regarded in some quarters as
evidence and guarantee of democratic good
faith.
Sackett, the newly appointed postmaster
at Buffalo, Is an undertaken. One of the
Buffalo democrats who opposed him told the
president that his appointment would unite

Ex-Governor Hoadly announces that he has
gone to New York solely to practice law. and
that he is 'done with politics forever" This,

Lauer Not Guilty,


The Lauer trial, which has created con-
siderable interest throughout the state,
and which has been the all-absorbing
topic in Omaha for several days past, has
ended. The jury returned verdict of
not guilty. The prosecution exerted
every effort to present all possible eyi-
dence to prove the guilt of the prisoner,
while the defense took advantage of
every inch of ground and made wond-
erful exhibit in his favor. From the fact
that Lauer in his first trial was found
guilty of manslaughter and sentenced to
ten years in the penitentlary, this verdict
making him free man and exonerat-
ing him from the serious charge of mur-
der will be a surprise to the citizens Of
Omaha and most happy surprise to the
prisoner.
Mr.. Lauer, it will he remembered, shot
his wife during the night time, mistaking
her for burglar. This was his claim
from first to last. Had it not been for
Mr.. Lauers jealous and cruel treatment
of his beautiful young wife, which fact
had become generally known to the pub
lie, he never would have been placed on
trial for his life. His otherwise good
reputation as citizen would have given
credit to his story at once. There would
have been no question raised as to his
guilt. His almost brutal treatment of
his wife however, nearly proved a fatal
error. 1t assisted largely in forming the
chain of circumstantial evidence. But
now that Mr.. Laucr has been declared,
by twelve jurymen, to be an innocent
man, the only evidence brought against
him and which once found him guilty
points strong moral.

Lead thy mother tenderly
Down life's steep decline:
Once her arm was thy support,
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deep lines of care:
Think-it was her toll for thee
Left that record there.
Meier forget her tireless watch
Kept by day and night.
Taking from her step the grace,
From her eyes the light:
Cherish we'll her faithful heart,
Which through weary years,
Echoed with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers love,
Guard the priceless boon;
For the bitter parting hour
COmeth all too soon.
When thy grateful tenderness
Loses power to save,
Earth will hold no dearer spot
Than thy mothers grave.
